Bloodline: Pureblood
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Brown
General Build: Average.

Birthplace: Rhyl, Wales
Brief Childhood History: Tate was born an only child to Elsa McCoy, wife of Jake McCoy. His parents are no longer together, however, and he dislikes his mother's new beau David, but he is dealing with that in his own... personal ways. At home, he is mostly found in his room, reading and listening to music. He enjoys books on magic and creatures, but mostly creatures. His family is comfortably well-off, and so he has been able to have a multitude of pets, including a Crup when he was younger, although his father had the proper licensing and thus the creature had to stay with him. For now, he is satisfied just reading and learning.
He is a die-hard Holyhead Harpies fan, and whether or not this is due to the fact they are all female is to be determined, but he also has loyalties to his welsh heritage to uphold. Although, there are other teams he could have chosen...
When he received his letter, he was ecstatic. His parents had attended Hogwarts as well, and he was ready to get out of the house with his soon-to-be stepfather. He was packed months before was necessary and had to live out of his trunk for a while. His father asked him whether he wanted a pet, and he asked for a cat. Sure enough, a lanky white cat arrived shortly after he asked, and he named her Coal, being an ironically witty child.
Strengths (Including Personality and Academic): Tate has very little in the way of inhibition. He is willing to do or try anything at least once, and takes other people's opinion of him into account very little. He'd much rather be known for doing what he wanted or felt at the time than for nothing at all, or for following the rules all the time. He's very motivated in things he enjoys. He will do all sorts of research into things he is interested in, such as magical creatures, often going beyond anything that would be asked of him. He is inventive as he comes up with creative ways of doing things, often on the spot. This also makes him tend to do things like writing papers in a strange style, but he will sometimes refrain if he deems it entirely necessary. As stated, he loves magical creatures, and is already fairly well-taught on the subject of Care of Magical Creatures. He is naturally inclined to charms as his mother was quite good at them, and he is fascinated by transfiguration, though he has yet to attempt a transfiguration of any sort.
Weaknesses (Including Personality and Academic): Reckless, Sarcastic, Stubborn. Dislikes Divination, Arithmancy, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Tate has very little regard for rules and boundaries, and will often push people to their limits, or possibly offend them, because he is blunt and sarcastic in his responses and comments, much like his father. He is fairly set in his ways, though he is also young and impressionable, and will stick rather adamantly to his views and opinions in most matters. He has never been too keen on trying to determine fates, fortunes, or the future in any fashion, and is expecting to do poorly in Divination. He has already shown an utter lack of skill with anything involving numbers, so his family expects low marks in Arithmancy from the start, with hopeful improvement over time. He is not sure what to think of Defense Against the Dark Arts. In his reading, he found that it mostly focuses on defense against magical creatures, which he adores, so he expects to do badly any time that is the case.
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why: Slytherin most likely. He doesn't fit in any house to-the-tee, but Slytherin fits most of his traits. He has the whole cunning thing down, after all, he's had to pretend to like his mother's boyfriend for a few years, and they believe him. He's also quite intelligent and motivated to reach his goals, which right now his goal is to find a goal. He is also pure-blooded, although he doesn't really have much regard for whether someone is pure-blood or not. His father was also a Slytherin when he attended Hogwarts, so he feels he will end up there, as he is much like him.

Hi there! Welcome to HPRPG! There are just a few things to attend to before we can get you sorted.
For the general build and height sections, please limit description to one of the three adjectives provided for you on the official character sheet.
Once you've fixed that, just change the title from 'pending' to 'edited'!

Thank you for editing~!
Unfortunately, Slytherin house is closed so we're going to pop you on the waiting list! If, at any time during your wait, you feel you could see Tate in another house, feel free to edit your sheet accordingly and poke us here!
